Damiano Cunego, Team Lampre's captain, who had to abandon the Tour de France following a crash in stage 18, will return to competition at the Clásica San Sebastián, set for August 2. Cunego will wear the jersey of Pro Tour leader during his comeback.

"Cunego's wounds are getting better. He could train lightly today and pedalled for five hours to test himself before the race," said director Maurizio Piovani.

"The team will be competitive, too, and we'll try to be in the important moments of the race. "Six riders have just finished Tour de France, so their condition will be good; (Paolo) Bossoni and (David) Loosli will be ready, too."
